I Yearn to Ask About Immortality

Tired of tales about peerless geniuses? Then why not try a story about the growth of an ordinary person? Ordinary people have stories of their own, stories worth singing and weeping over. This is a novel about an ordinary person cultivating immortality. It has a female lead, but no harem. The protagonist is neither a savior nor some chosen one of destiny. He is merely a minor cultivator in a sect that rose from humble beginnings in the cultivation world, with no exceptional talent, no astonishing encounters, and no golden finger. All he has is caution at every turn and the sword in his hand. Without enduring countless trials and tribulations, how can one temper oneself into an immortal?

Why spend a lifetime battling heaven, earth, and other people? With ordinary talent, he will carve out his own path.

(This kind of story tends to be a slow burn, so readers are asked to be patient. A heads-up: this is not a wish-fulfillment novel. The protagonist has a very hard time and faces many hardships, and cultivation takes a long time.)
